wispy clouds flock in the
distance with the crows
hovering by the Waratah trees
it’s all blue when you lie
at the river bank on cutty grass
staring up at wasted skies, paper
cuts criss-crossing your palm
in a dream he sings: everybody
bleeds, there is something ominous
in the air tonight have you ever
loved a woman
what happened to the light

when you wake, jet planes crash
a man with half crazy eyes
chases after a bulldog mastiff
his chainsaw buzzes, pull the throttle
harder don't drop that bomb
on me the vinyl's scratched
the fifth track of the Violent Femmes
stutters on REPEAT:
don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
the door slams
why can't I get just one kiss
where did we go wrong
ReplyDeletehow we are
so knitted up
with dreams
and memories
it's a wonder
we can wake
It was the river bank of sighs
ReplyDeletea raspberry's the test
